We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is a cost-effective and user-friendly option for developers looking to monitor cloud resources and integrate with Visual Studio, according to user reviews. It is preferred over Splunk ITSI due to its lower cost, ease of configuration and maintenance, and strong integration with other Microsoft technologies. Splunk ITSI is praised for its powerful functionality and ease of use, but is considered more expensive and lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users.
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its utilization of predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent incidents within a window of twenty to thirty minutes."
"ITSI includes a feature called a glass table."
"The flexibility to develop and consolidate many solutions into one platform is great."
"The observability is great and valuable."
"In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results."
"The solution has been stable."
"ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"The process of implementation needs to be easier."
"Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement."
"Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature."
"Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal."
"Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"It would be advantageous to enhance the dashboard by incorporating sections for monitoring, service health, and a filter for the KPIs."
"It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
"ITSI could benefit from a security model that would allow operations team members to get involved in model building, KPI implementation, and model maintenance, while maintaining appropriate segregation of duties."
